Application filed July 11, 1928. Serial No. 292,011.

My invention relates to improvements in.

pen or pencilholders.

One object of my invention 1s to provide a fenovel, simple pen or pencilholder with which a number of pens or pencils may be convenientlycarried, without intermingling with each other, and without having thepoints of the pencils PI'OJQCtlDg above the .mpocket containing theholder,.and without such points contacting with the pocket in a'manner/suchaswould cause holes to be made thereby in the pocket.

A further object of my invention is to provide a holder of the kinddescribed, which is cheap, readily attachable to a pocket of a gar- Inthe accompanying drawing which illustrates my invention,

Fig. 1 is anelevation of a portion of a gar-v ment the pocket of whichcontains one of my improved holders.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevation of my improved holder with a penand pencils mounted therein.

Fig. 3 is a further enlarged top view of the holder.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged section on the plane of the line 44 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a side elevation, partly broken away, of modified form of myinvention.

Fig. 6 is a section on the line 66 of Fig. 5.

Similar reference characters designate similar parts in the differentviews.

In the form shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the holder comprises a casing, whichmay'consist of two pieces of leather 1 between which is mounted ahorizontal piece of soft rubber 2, which is formed into a chanel, withits tom of the channel, in which mm emcee I .EMERY o. anrr enson, onKansas CITY, rvrrssouni- '1' the pencils 5 and pen 6,-the perforations'4being smaller than the diameters ofthe pen oils or pen, so that thechannelmember 2 is expanded by the pen or pencils inserted through theperforations 4. r H

oils or pen to the middle portion ofthe botforations 4 are located. Thecasing is adapted to be mounted in the pocket 7 of a garmentS, such as avest. The casing is supported in an elevated position in the pocket 7 bysuitable means engagportion the per-- 1 ing with the garment-8. Suchsupporting means, in the drawing, comprises two U- shaped clips 9, oneset of the arms of which are disposed between one of the leather pieces1 and the front side of the channel member 2, Flg. 3. The other arms of,the clips engage the outer sideof the pocket 7, Fig. 1.

so that the points will not wear holes in the bottom of the'pocket. Thepen 6 andpencils 5 are firmly held, so that they are not liable to belost out'of the pocket, if the garment is inverted.

In the form of my invention shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the holder comprisesa tubular cas ing 10, preferably consisting of a single piece of softrubber molded to form, and having integral with the side and endwalls'thereof' a channel portion 11 having-in its bottom perforations 12for receiving pencils 5 or a fountain pen 6, as described with referenceto Figs. 1 to 4.

The casing 10 is supported by two clips9, already described, one set ofarms of which are molded in the front upper portion of the caslng.

The operation is the same as was described with reference to the otherform of my invention.
